    3 Days Mount Meru trekking Itinerary Description

    Mount Meru is a dormant volcano located in Arusha National Park in Tanzania, East Africa. At a height of 4,562 meters, it is the second-highest mountain in Tanzania and the fifth-highest in Africa. The three-day Mount Meru trekking adventure involves hiking to the summit of this mountain, offering a unique and rewarding experience.

    The 3 Days Mount Meru trekking adventure starts with a hike through the tropical rainforest, where you will be able to spot a variety of wildlife species such as elephants, buffaloes, and colobus monkeys. As you ascend, the vegetation changes to montane forest, where you will encounter a variety of bird species such as the Hartlaub's turaco and the Silvery-cheeked hornbill.

    On day two, the 3 Days Mount Meru trekking becomes more challenging as you climb up to the saddle, which is located between the two peaks of Mount Meru. You will have a chance to see the ash cone, which is the remnant of the volcanic activity that occurred millions of years ago.

    The final day is the most challenging as you hike to the summit of Mount Meru. The climb involves some scrambling, and the summit offers spectacular views of Mount Kilimanjaro and the surrounding area. You will also have a chance to sign the summit register, which is a tradition among climbers.
